Hey, wait!!! There goes the wagon...

I think I fell off. :-\ Hubby and I have been...how shall i says this...not following the plan the last couple of days. However, we are going to my FAVORITE restaurant tomorrow for date night. They have INCREDIBLE desserts. One last hoorah, and time to go to the grocery store, and we're back on Phase 1 Saturday morning. :)

Please hold...

I promise I will soon start updating more! We have a Pampered Chef party this weekend, so I may get a little off the rails with all that good food/refreshments. I may go back to Phase 1 of South Beach after that, just to restart. I've regained 3 pounds, but that's OK. We're gonna fix it. Thanks for your support! :)

I'm back...

Hey, I've had a couple of you tell me you're missing my posts. I really appreciate that, and I apologize for dropping off the face of the planet like that. I'll be honest, it's been really hard lately. I'm at that 2-3 week point (or so), where I start to slip (or want to slip). This is a real addiction, folks. I DID find something awesome yesterday, though - Mello Yello Zero. You know how awesome Mountain Dew is and how crappy Diet Mountain Dew is? Well, that is not the case with Mello Yello and its counterpart. It's actually tolerable - good, in fact. Gonna pick some up at lunch. ;) Better than sweet tea, right? Right. *sigh*

Saw one of my friends (hi, Tracie!) at the 5K sponsored by our church last night. I hope she did well, I'm sure she did. Hubby and I were working the registration table, and someone came up that had lost 262 pounds in a year (without gastric bypass) and was doing the 5K last night. He showed us a picture of him before he lost weight...amazing! I had a bad weekend (forgot my medicine Saturday), and I bawled yesterday. I don't want to sound like I'm whining, but it's such a strong pull between satisfying that craving and doing what I want (I know, that's immature) and knowing how good I'll look and feel if I lose weight. I've never known another struggle like this. Again, not whining, just saying. It's incredible the pull that food/carbs has, almost scary.
